Tree

Lyrics for Tree

The tree is ever verdant And the roots cannot die And the leaves can never wither The tree can never die This is the tree that never dies This is the tree that never dies This is the tree that never dies The ram and the sheep Endless marriage And endless feast With the braying and the kissing Of the lord The ram's blood And the lamb's meat This is the crop that never fails This is the crop that never fails This is the crop that never fails All through the earth And through the forest Through the fields And through the towns The wheel shall turn And turn and turn The wheel shall turn And cut us down This is the word that never lies This is the word that never lies This is the word that never lies From king to beggar Priest to miser The wheel shall turn And cut them down All such broken flowers Pass away All suck broken statues Pass away This is the tree that never lies This is the tree that never lies This is the tree that never lies Night shall fade And dawn shall come Starres will die And dawn will come Gods and laws Will pass away The corn will die And be reborn This is the crop that never dies This is the crop that never dies This is the crop that never dies
